The Atik cameras until recently have been priced out of the market in Australia.. Even the STL11000M is cheaper than the Atik 11000, and the differences in those two cameras are fairly extreme... With the new dealer bringing cheaper prices, there will be more interest in the Atik cameras in the future. That said, neither the KAI4022 or the KAI11002 sensor are particularly fantastic. the 11k sensor is great, as its a 35mm sensor, however the 9um pixels make it a poor choice for seriously wide field work. It will do the job, as seen by MANY people using that sensor in the FSQ106 etc... They aren't particularly sensitive either...
